{{+1}}BOM climate outlooks{{-1}}
{{start}}
Latest climate outlook for the next few months from the BOM is not good.
Main points are:
- Drier than average likely, but may start to ease for some in early 2020.
- Rainfall is likely to be below average across most of the country for November.
- The likelihood of drier conditions in eastern NSW has intensified for November.
- The drier outlook continues into December for most of the southern half of Australia, Queensland, and the southern two-thirds of the NT.
- However, the summer outlook is more neutral, with only parts of Queensland, SA and other small scattered areas likely to be drier.
- While outlooks for drier than average conditions may ease for some areas in the coming months, it should be noted that several months of above average rainfall would be needed to see a recovery from current long-term rainfall deficiencies.

{{+1}}National waterbug blitz{{-1}}
{{start}}
This Spring, Australians are encouraged to become ‘citizen scientists’ and investigate how healthy their local waterways and wetlands are, simply by exploring and identifying what aquatic macroinvertebrates they contain. The type and number of waterbugs found in a waterway can tell us a lot about how healthy that waterway is.{{end}}

{{+1}}Spotters Prescription Sun Glasses{{-1}}
{{start}}
I am cranky with myself for not taking up Spotters 2018 Fly Fish Australia teams sponsorship offer for the 2018 Commonwealth Fly Fishing Championships (N. Ireland). I didn't take it up because I still had my original Spotters and my Spotters that were sponsored to me via Fly Fish Australia for the 2016 Commonwealth Fly Fishing Championships (Canada) ... I love my Spotters.
Spotters have been sponsors of Fly Fish Australia representative teams for the World Fly Fishing Championships and the Commonwealth Fly Fishing Championships. As past team member of World, Commonwealth and Oceania teams, Past President of FFA and the most recent life members of FFA I just wanted to put it out that how good their glasses are and how much all our members appreciate their sponsorship. Thanks #Spotters.

{{start}}
For the last few years I have used Perdigon flies as replacements for my older style anchor flies and of course there is added bonus, particularly in small sizes that they catch fish themselves whereas my older style anchor flies seldom did.{{end}}
